Why You Should Wear Oofos Flip Flops for Recovery

Women’s OOlala Sandal – White & Gold

As it turns out, all flip flops were not created equal.

I’ve said it once and I will say it again. You need to take care of your feet. As an orthopaedic surgeon and athlete, I cannot stress this enough. Your feet are very important to your overall health, but they are easily taken for granted.

Whether you are an athlete or just a regular gym-goer, your feet probably take and absorb a lot of stress. Exercise can be very demanding on your joints, especially around your ankles and feet. You may experience muscle tightness or pain, soreness, or fatigue in and around your feet.

You can spend some money on great athletic shoes (which I highly recommend), but its also important to be mindful of the shoes you wear after you leave the gym (in your recovery period).

I tend to wear athletic shoes a lot, but in my recovery periods, I swear by Oofos flip flops. Not only do they offer support to my arches, but they are made out of proprietary foam that aborbs 37% more impact than traditional foam footwear. They also offer arch support that reduces energy exertion in your ankles by up to 20%, compared to other shoes.

They are not only super comfortable, but they shorten your recovery period after hard workouts, and reduce stress on your feet and ankles in general.

Oofos are not only great for athletes, but also for anyone who experiences foot pain in general. They work great indoors (hardwood and concrete floors can be hard on your arches), and let your feet breathe during the hot summer months.

So basically, if you ever find your ‘dogs are barking’ after a long workout, or suffer from foot pain in general, Oofos footwear is the Cadillac of flip-flops in terms of comfort and arch support.
